GRAND ILLUSIONS represents a selection of the most beautiful photographs ever to come out of Hollywood's Golden Years. The motion pictures of that era, stumbling perhaps across a new poetics, projected gorgeous fantasies which soared beyond the plots and elaborate sets, even beyond the luminous glamour of the stars. Once on film, subjects have a beguiling sense of drifting through space as through painted by a casual barely visible presence. And in truth, the visual intelligence behind these films was often one of genius; genius which could dream and still control a new technology.
